Well, two more practices, one more game and Lincoln Lacrosse is off until Sept. 15th for a short fall season. Also, Lincoln schools are out and my kids looking forward to day camp with LOTS of field trips and activities all summer. Plus, my wife is fresh out of UNMC nursing school with her BSN and a new certificate from the state of Nebraska. I liken it to the tornadoes which recently came through central Nebraska -- you see the storm coming, weather it and then it is all over. What do I do now? Sure, I will play ball with the Omaha Rhinos West team until late July (that should be fun in upper 90s Nebraska heat!), but then what? I've spent the last three plus years of my life with the goal of getting my wife through school and it's done. But...now what? Catch up my theology which has lagged? Work on my individual stick skills?....wait, I'm a denfenseman...never mind. Go back to school myself? Only time will tell.
Season recap: Mark Churchill and I went in with a simple goal - teach 16-18 guys NCAA-rules lacrosse (for the most part). Half the team had been through a local parks and rec program (more similar to the women's game) and the other half had never caught a ball or touched a stick. So, even though we are sitting at 0-10 with 1 more game to go, I can still announce: mission accomplished. We now have a team that can play zone defense, knows how to set up and run a 222 offense, executes man-ball (most of the time) and even knows how to set a pick! So, mission accomplished!
